How do I look?

How do I look? It's work in progress for a French beard for Sonu Nigam. The singer and also short-time actor, often experiments with his tresses. It is either cut short, if not tousled or rebonded (his look during Indian Idol). This time around he is growing some facial hair. Though extremely unkempt, we wonder what served the inspiration for it? Ravishing: Soha Ali Khan Pic: Sujeet Jaiswal Talk to me: Ameesha Patel Pic: Rakesh Dave Gupshup hotspot The coffee shop of this Juhu hotel is a hotbed of gupshup for stars. Recently we spotted Sanjay Kapoor making an exit, Ameesha Patel (sans Vikram Bhatt) was in animated conversation with someone (a producer?), Upen Patel sat all by himself in a corner — he reminded us of the nursery rhyme, Little Jack Horner sat in the corner, eating a pie: There was also producer Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra with someone, till Soha Ali Khan (looking ravishing) breezed in. On another table, sat actor Karan Kapoor (formerly Carran Kapoor). The point to be noted, is that each of them did their own bit without interacting with each other. Latvian visitors: Hussain, Juhi Parmar, Helena Demekova and Rajesh Chadha Kumkum's phoren guests The sets of Kumkum at Chandivali were abuzz with activity over the weekend. Mingling with the cast consisting of Juhi Parmar and Hussain Kuwajerwala were Helena Demekova, Latvia's minister of culture. The delegation is in India to explore possibilities of mutual cooperation. They also visited the International Institute of Media & Entertainment Studies in New Delhi which is promoted by producer Anurradha Prasad of BAG Films. Says Prasad, "Interactions like these always open doors for cultural bonding and enables cordial relations between two countries." So, is the unit of Kumkum heading for a Latvia outdoor next? Emotional: Sunny Deol Family bonding: Dharmendra and Bobby Deol Tear-jerking Deols Here's some dope from the sets of Anil Sharma's Apne, where the Deols have been camped for a while now. It is believed that emotional Deols — Dharam paaji and his puttars Sunny and Bobby are refusing to use any glycerin for the rona-dhona scenes. They are filling a pail with natural tears. Dharam's on-screen daughter Divya Dutta vouches for that, "Dharamji, Sunny and Bobby are quite emotional. They never use any tear enhancers for the scenes." Apart from that, this chotu family has been bonding well over lassi and dabbas. Remember, the Sanewal connection? All the four hail from the same town in Ludhiana… Dost ki kahaani: Aroona Irani

Inspired by reality

Aroona Irani's new weekly drama, Vaidehi premieres on Sony tonight at 10 pm. The story of the central character Vaidehi (Pallavi Kulkarni) came to Irani, after her close friend confided about her marriage trouble, "Yes, Vaidehi is based on my friend's life story. I cannot name her, but she has gone through everything that you will see Vaidehi go through," she says.

The show deals with the concept of marriage and how it changes not only Vaidehi's life, but also of people around her. "More than women, I want men to watch this show. There's a lot that they will relate to as well," she adds. Even though her lucky mascot Sangeeta Ghosh is missing, Irani's more than happy to get Pallavi on board.

Neeraj Vora's big loss

He's looking forward to the release of his Phir Hera Pheri. But Neeraj Vora has met with a loss that has dampened his pre-release excitement. The filmmaker lost his dad Vinayak Vora, who was a noted international musician.

He specialised in the Tar-Shahnai instrument and held many concerts in the country and abroad. In fact, his latest work was giving music for Malamaal Weekly. RIP.
